Dear Everyone,
This week, we had a baptism! Her name is Zoila (pronouced Thoyla), she is from Spain and she is incredible. She was super prepared, she´d been living with a member and had tons of friends that are members and she already knew a lot about the church. Her conversion story is amazing, she keeled down to pray and before the prayer was over, she had her answer. Her baptism went super well. Today the mission president and his wife brought us beds, because we had been sleeping on mattresses on the ground, so we´re excited for that. Another exciting thing is tomorrow we have a conference that lasts 2 days in Valencia. On Wednesday, they are going to show us Meet the Mormons, a movie that the church came out with a little while ago that I haven´t seen yet, so I´m excited for that. It´s going to be in Spanish, so I wonder if that means we can get a copy of it to show investigators. Today we also went on a hike to the top of a mountain and we could see everything for kilometres. Then we went to a member´s house, had BBQ in their backyard and watched "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" in their home theatre. They have a super super nice house for Spain, with a large yard and a pool, a brick BBQ and nice views. All in all, it´s been a good day. Also, we went to a Herbalife centre a couple days ago (long story, but basically because an investigator roped us into it) and we got health tested. I don´t know what the science is behind it, but they weigh you and do a few calculations to tell you how you are health wise. Turns out that not only am I perfectly healthy in that I have no fat, but I also have enough water in my system, something that the guy said he´s never seen. Everyone always lacks a ton of water he said. It was interesting but then he tried to sell us some smoothies that would help us (me to gain muscle and my companion to lose weight). They´re super pricy so we said no, but it was an interesting experience.
